I have the HBS 3" on my 05 screw,2wd. No issues at all. Even the owner of the alignment shop I use said its total BS that it puts too much stress on anything. I trust him,they've been in business 25+ years,and service all the local State Troopers,and police and sheriffs cars.

Heresa couple pics after the 3" kit. It measures out totally level.

the biggest issue with the 3" is with 4x4 and the angle they put the cv's at, all you 2wd guys dont have to worry bout much except maybe balljoints

3.5"?? On a 4X4?? That would be a lot unless you changed out the UCA for a uni UCA..

I agree, I was nervous going 2.5" (as they say 2.0" is where you should sit - 2.5 has been fine though for me)... 3.5" for $150, sounds too good to be true to me! Or your front end's going to take a beating (especially UCA like kingranch wrote).
